Pros

Entry level experience, union benefits, 401k plan, easy to move up the food chain (constant employees quitting) great customers when you get to know them

Cons

Management team is horrible, never on the sales floor Demand from 3 employees to do everything in the store Low pay even with minimum wage going up. Customers get what they want which is annoying

Deli Clerk - brand new

Pros

Employee discount on groceries, friendly coworkers, excellent benefits

Cons

Really annoying customers - especially at the sandwich bar! They're sitting there watching you make a sandwich, and you're going as fast as you can, and there's a huge line.... A lot of our customers are fantastic. But some are really demanding, or don't speak English very well. It's hard to be the only person on the floor having to make sandwiches, slice meat, work the hot and cold cases.
